opened for the season. The irrigation system has been brought up to service. Greens were core
aeriated on the 18th hole with sand being applied to fill the holes. Fertilizer was spread to assist with the
healing of the greens. They have both been rolled several times since then. The new forward tee
surface is now in effect on hole seven. Spring fertilizers have been applied to the tees and fairways.
Golf Professional Report:

Old Business: Bryan Luedtke reported that he had put out information regarding handicaps, with only
eight responses. The CDGA would need a minimum of twenty to put the software in the Golf Shop. The
golf leagues do not utilize them, so Bryan sees no need for handicaps.

step aside so Steve can become the City Council Liaison for the Golf Commission.
